The Straight Poop

I was going to put this up anyway, but it kind of fits in with the For Your Consideration theme. This was a show that I think was on Nick at Nite in 1990. It was two guys reviewing fake TV shows. On the Television, it was called. Didn't last long. It looks like everyone's third-favorite atheist, Julia Sweeney, is in some of those sketches. imdb and Wikipedia don't seem to know about this.

The Red Sox have re-signed Alex Cora for two years, after bidding two peaches and a Kennedy half dollar for the right to talk to him.

Chan and I are watching Ohio State-Michigan. They showed Michigan fan Derek Jeter at the game--watching from field level. He started clapping when they showed him. I wonder if he saw the irony. I also wonder if, for his expertise in cheering the team on by making his palms collide with each other repeatedly, he'll be named MVP of this football game.

Well, personally, errors are pretty low on the list of ways to evaluate defense. Alex Gonzalez had great hands, average, range, and flat out couldn't hit. I'm looking forward to not carrying a pitcher in our lineup this year :)

Definitely, especially when compared to his peers at SS. He's also a really underrated defender, with real solid range and hands. His major defensive weakness is his arm, which isn't terribly strong, and is at times erratic. I like Lugo because while he isn't excellent at anything, he's very good at everything, a real strong all around player.

It's weird, I think MIL wants to play Hall in LF, because they have Hardy at SS. I think it would take WMP AND a real good pitching prospect, but yea, Hall would be phenomenal, and not just because he's a great hitting SS, but because he can play almost anywhere on the diamond, and he's a young guy. I'd put it at like, a 25% chance they'd be willing to deal him.
